Created to celebrate the rich traditions of the province’s craft villages ahead of the Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) festivities, the street invites guests to explore a variety of handmade ceramic masterpieces. Artisans have used thousands of red ceramic bricks to craft intricate paintings and miniatures that reflect the traditional culture of the southern region, including iconic brick kilns and ceramic houses.

Vinh Long Province boasts a proud history of ceramic and brick craftsmanship, with its craft villages dating back over a century. Nearly 1,500 brick kilns are spread across 3,000 hectares in Mang Thit and Long Ho districts and Vinh Long City, making it a hub for traditional pottery and brick-making in the Mekong Delta.
